Amazing! I must check for mine. The hugely rampant ones aren't out - I'd
see them from the house if they were - but I've got some gorgeous dark
yellow ones with pretty marbled leaves (similar to cyclamen), and I'd love
to see those.

I've had primroses out for the last month, and aconites won't be far behind.

Was just looking at the Honeysuckle which has just bloomed, looked up, and
lo and behold, my first spray of Laburnum.....I thought it was the Forsythia
which is next to it, but its the Laburnum.... spooky....

Ditto and the Corokia cotoneaster has been flowering for a week
or two ...

Yers, but you're practically on the equator where you are innit.

:~) Been cold this year though!
Great to get the cold before Christmas for a change, at least its stopped
plants being silly and getting too far ahead of themselves. Lots of stuff
starting to flower now, Corea, Corokia, Coronilla, and Camelia, although
I can't say I have noticed Celandine. Lots of stuff has shrugged the
frost off and is still flowering so its obviously not been as cold as I
think :~)

Well, in the Tropic of Cornwall you don't get cold like we do in Arctic
Norfolk.

My daughter says that it is colder here in rural Gloucestershire than it is
where she lives in Edinburgh :-O

Now that I am here can anyone tell me when trying to grow mistletoe do you
squash the berries into cracks on top of the branches or underneath ?

I believe they are best where some run-off keeps them moist when it
rains, though I've seen the stuff growing from virtually every position
imaginable.

Well, practically, not virtually.

Be sure to get berries from British-grown mistletoe, as much of the
Christmas supply is imported from the Continong, and some varieties do
not do well - if at all.

Thanks Rusty, I will have a go tomorrow. An old tree in the next field has
just blown over and it has lots of mistletoe growing on it so I will use
the berries.

Are they ripe yet? the ones at Christmas generally are not - hence
peoples problems growing it (that and it likes to germinate on the same
tree species its mum was on)

Probably not ripe yet but I can wait a little longer. I have no idea as to
the sex of the plant, it is growing on a very old apple tree, small eating
apples, and I intent trying to grow it and another old tree called Tom Putt
that is in our paddock. Nothing ventured nothing gained :-)
